Title: US/State mixup shield error signs
Post by: hotdogPi on August 17, 2016, 07:04:09 AM
As of this post, the Erroneous Road Signs thread has 161 pages (I use the default of 25 posts per page), and it will just continue to grow. To reduce its rate of growth, errors that are solely US/state route mixups go here instead of in the Erroneous Road Signs and Worst of Road Signs threads.

Something similar was done a few years ago when "Unique, Odd, or Interesting Signs" was created to reduce the number that went into the Worst of Road Signs thread.

If you recently posted in any of these threads with a US/state mixup, you may move the post to here by deleting the other one and pasting the content in this thread. (It doesn't have to be recent, but I'm assuming that the more recent ones will be more easily found.)

In addition to posting US/state mixups, you can post your opinion on whether this thread is necessary, at least for the first few pages.

Quarryville, Pennsyvlania, the PA-222 shield should be U.S. 222.

Montgomery County, Maryland, MD-29 shield that should be U.S. 29.

This is a great idea for a thread.  These take up a large proportion of the "sign errors" in the titular thread.


Ohio 38 in Marysville

Another US 202 error shield, this one in Delaware.  Unfortunately this isn't the only one on the section that should be US 202 (there is a DE 202 south of I-95, but this is north of I-95).

This is actually linked from a 2013 post

OK, I'll recycle my recently spotted and posted sign fail here. Should be US50, not Ohio state route 50. This is brand new after some road construction.

It's not just Ohio, and it seems like this happens much more than it should. In this case, Ohio does not duplicate routes, too. I guess it doesn't bother other people as much as it bothers me. :banghead:

MA 132 south of [White Interstate Shield] 6. Does this qualify?

US 394 in Jamestown, NY.  There was a US 60 shield (for NY 60) somewhere in the vicinity as well.

I think that was posted back in the early 00's.  I remember seeing it so many times on trips to/from Florida, but almost never could get a photo of it because it would always be night time when I would be traveling that direction on I-77/I-81.  I did finally snag a photo of it back on 03/31/06 with my original digital camera.  So, at a minimum, that error's been around for over 10 years.

Poor US 202.  I once started a collection of pictures of all the signs in Massachusetts that incorrectly had a square MA sign for 202.  I think if I travelled the whole route through the state, I'd have a LOT of pictures.

I think they're less common than they were some years ago.  I seem to remember there not being a single US 202 shield in downtown Holyoke, for example.  Still, I believe US 202 has US shields all the way from Pelham up to MA 2 (then again, who knows what havoc has been wrought by MassHighway since I went through there last).

As of 2 years ago, it was all or almost all the correct US 202.

Also, you're using Pelham as a reference point? It seems like you were going to UMass Amherst from east of there.

The kicker? The signs on NY31 westbound for the same intersection also have US shields, while one of the NY88 shields on eastbound 31 is also a US shield! All were posted by the Village of Newark, not NYSDOT.

This is actually more common in SD than standalone shields.

Indiana 421.  I took this picture from I-74 below, heading west.  The sign is facing south on one of the exits between Indianapolis and Shelbyville, IN.

How is it that these are so common? In the two states I've lived in, I've seen a mix-up of the two only once - that was a state route shield used in place of a US shield for US-52 in Luxemburg, Iowa. I guess I can see how they wouldn't be confused in Minnesota, but Iowa... still manages to pretty much always get it right? I don't get it.

Also seems happens a lot on construction projects around the state, when contractors seem to slap a number (or letter) on anything that resembles a highway shield.

US/Interstate or SR/Interstate mistakes are the rare ones.

I've never seen a mainline interstate use the wrong shield, though it must have happened before. I haven't sifted through the error thread in many years, maybe there's something.

Nevada is usually very good with this, especially since numbers aren't duplicated between systems.

This is the only US/State shield mixup I've ever seen: WB SR 341 approaching SR 431 & US 395 (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4031798,-119.7444252,3a,29.1y,325.83h,89.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1srfM9IG_PLqBjuT0108ZRgw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) (with the opening of I-580, it's now US 395 Alt. The Street View is from September 2016, after the freeway opening, so this error might still be extant in the field)

Quarryville, Pennsyvlania, the PA-222 shield should be U.S. 222.

I had a theory that U.S. highways in Pennsylvania were multiplexed as state highways.  My only actual evidence was that PA-519 was an offshoot of US 19.  There was a 19 shield in a keystone somewhere south of there but I can't remember exactly where.

I don't know if you've ever tried this, but I once took a picture of a sign error on FL 50 when they were widening it to six lanes from US 19 to the Suncoast Parkway, and the head of FDOT 7 sent it right to a construction foreman right away, who later tore it down. The post I made about it is still on this board somewhere. I'm not sure GDOT will react as quickly, but it's worth a shot.

And that's a US route style ('61 spec) that I don't believe was ever used in California.

Amazing how the contractors didn't notice the CA-1 shields on the same gantry.

About California mixups, I remember seeing a pic where CA 152 was upgraded to I-152.

In this part of the world where we don't use fancy shields, just plain boxes with a full rainbow of background colors, the equivalent of shield mixups is getting the background color wrong. It happens too many times to count, including one example where a 2nd order regional road (green background) got upgraded to a national road (red)!

I've been driving past this sign for years, but noticed the error for the first time on the return trip on eclipse day. I'm not sure if the error belongs here or in another thread. Instead of a US shield for the Business 31 turn off US 31 near Peru, the BGS has a simple rectangle reading "BUSINESS 31." Since Indiana uses a rectangle for state routes, one might consider this a US/State mixup, though the shield is missing the usual "INDIANA" designator.

How is it that these are so common? In the two states I've lived in, I've seen a mix-up of the two only once - that was a state route shield used in place of a US shield for US-52 in Luxemburg, Iowa. I guess I can see how they wouldn't be confused in Minnesota, but Iowa... still manages to pretty much always get it right? I don't get it.

So I must've said that before I found this picture:

That should be US-52, not MN-52. (Credit for the picture goes to, well, not me. I don't remember where I found it, though I'm pretty sure credit goes to a member here.)

Funny, we had the opposite problem with FL 52 until a few years ago or so.

I played this is the Route Number Difference game to satisfy "333"

US 377 in Stroud, OK was signed with a State Route 377 shield. This one has been replaced, the 377 to a US 377 and the 66 and 99 to the current version of State shields in OK. 66 might as well be a US shield, as it is Old US 66

Just saw this the other night, in Azle, TX.  Coming into town from the NW, the ramp to Loop 344 is marked with, not the usual TX 'boring square', but the green Biz I-344 shield! 
https://goo.gl/maps/tVNGDNNEQCy

I checked Google Street View, and it shows the same thing.  I'm not sure how far back the installation goes, but it does look new-ish.  I also looked around at the other parts of town on GSV, and no other sign goofs for Loop 344 could be found.

Actually they "were"  US 99.  In the case of Fresno Yosemite the sign was installed way past the late 1960s when US 99 became CA 99.

Friendly suggestion: would be nice if the mix-up were pointed out along with each picture, for people unfamiliar with the area. I had to look up a map of Logansport to figure out it's supposed to be US-24, not IN-24. :thumbsup:

It's half the fun.  :D  (US 29 and 25 don't come near Indiana so 24 was left by process of elimination, but that isn't common knowledge for folks from farther away.  But finding that out looking at the map is fun!)

The other part of the fun is that the ramp of the split diamond between intersections ahead carries 25 NB, 24 EB, and 35 SB together, while the dual carriageway adjacent has no routes on it between the offramp and onramp.

One of Birmingham's old and funky / weird / awful painted Truck shields was re-purposed for directions to I-59:

If I'm not mistaken there used to be the similar type of US 78/11(31/280?) truck route signs around the 31st Street/Airport Blvd area as well. Probably why the sign painter back in the day just went with a US shield for 59. Never saw a 20 one as 59 has always been unofficially deemed the prominent route of the two.

Edit: the 78/11/31/280 signs were actually just blue and white square signs I believe. So mistake within the mistake...

While researching and finding a "632"  solution for the Difference game, I came across a website with some photo directions for a 2011 Librarian's conference in Athens, OH. One of the pics I played for the 632 solution

Another, gives us a US 32 shield on a BGS in place of an OH 32 Shield. And double-checking Streetview, this error still seems to be there

You don't have to change the number. 32 is a reasonable number for the route.

Or 48. OH 32 would make a great extension of US 48.

Or actually, it should have been signed US 50 and old US 50 could have been US 50A.

Errant US 123 sign in Mt. Rainier National Park.  Should be Washington State 123.  This is a child of US 12, so there is a connection to a US route.  It's possible that the park made this sign and didn't have any George Washington silhouettes available.  This isn't the only SR 123 that's signed as a US route in the park.  When I saw this second incident, I was ready to pull over to take the picture.

For years after US-10's eastern terminus was moved from Detroit to Bay City they had US-10 signs for the Lodge Freeway instead of M-10 signs which is what it was at that point. I can't find any anymore though but about 15 years ago I could have found some. US-10 hasn't ended in Detroit since the mid-80's.

Furthermore, what's with that diagrammatic?  If it's an EXIT ONLY lane, the arrow should only be pointing curved off to the right, not both curved to the right AND straight.

Looks like they made the APL too small, making the Exit Only banners around the right-hand arrow too close to the middle one. Of course, it's also likely centered over where the lanes will be when the project's done, but still.

APL?

"Arrow-per-Lane."  It's what type of sign this is, showing a directional arrow for each lane.

APL's take up so much unnecessary space as it is, but I definitely see your point.  I think the sign might function better if it was shifted about 3-6 feet to the right.

Yeah, I think the sign is the right size, but it was installed too far to the left, causing some confusion about what arrow goes where. Even if that's a temporary setup, as freebrickproductions suggested, it should be installed as it's currently configured, and then moved again when the final lane striping/configuration/whatever is put in place.

I'm assuming with the arrows that the exit only is for the right arrow but that's a nice screw up on the US-422 shield.

I posted this in the Facebook sign errors group last month but for those of you who aren't a part of that, this is a photo I took about July 8 of an error Ohio 400 sign. I went to see if it was still there after another poster put up a photo of this sign earlier.

(https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/36818225_10160546370550331_1534412950947758080_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=91036053917fc2a16d8257a6641a6e74&oe=5C8E7D78)

(Edit: Was able to finally get the photo to link)

This is on U.S. 400 near Strauss, which is about nine miles east of Parsons in Labette County. And it's not the first time Ohio shields have appeared in Labette County. When the bypass around Parsons first opened, the contractor posted the entire thing with Ohio 400 shields. My guess is that either KDOT or the county kept the signs when they corrected the mistakes and then used one of them by mistake to replace a missing U.S. shield.

Way to go, PennDOT!  Especially considering the US-422 reassurance marker AND mile marker with US-422 shield BOTH RIGHT THERE!!!

Furthermore, what's with that diagrammatic?  If it's an EXIT ONLY lane, the arrow should only be pointing curved off to the right, not both curved to the right AND straight.

I called them out on it before that sign was even mounted (you could see it from the opposite direction when it was sitting in the median area.  Obviously they decided they would fix it after they mounted the sign.

Looks like they made the APL too small, making the Exit Only banners around the right-hand arrow too close to the middle one. Of course, it's also likely centered over where the lanes will be when the project's done, but still.

The sign IS centered over where the lanes will be when the project is done.  The lanes are shifted over to the right; where the right lane is using the future shoulder.

As of Monday afternoon rush hour, the error was fixed, though it looks as though they used a 2-digit US route shield with a 3-digit number -- the "4" in "422" seems squished, or maybe that's just me.

Here's one I saw in Philly last night -- PA-611 got an upgrade there:

MaineDOT is generally good about not confusing US and state routes, though the intersection of US 1/ME 3 and US 1A in Stockton Springs has three erroneous ME 1A shields. This is the only one I have photographed; heading south on US 1.

(https://i.imgur.com/BEcZ7mHl.jpg)
I'm assuming that Maine did demote 1A like RI did their 1A. 

Maybe the contractor/fabricator thought this was a Massachusetts location.  :sombrero:

I don't think it's a joke. They probably have extra CT 9 signs in stock (CT 9 is a medium-length freeway), but for obvious reasons, no CT 6 signs.

The erroneous 422 shield has since been replaced with a US 422 shield; I saw it yesterday (Aug. 25) while biking along the Schuylkill River Trail.  The new shield is actually rectangular w/a green background and has Series D 422 numerals (should've been Series C IMHO).

Noticed that myself several weeks ago when they put a corrected US-422 shield up in what seemed to be a bit of a slapdash manner.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the numbers -- they seemed to me to be barely contained by the left side of the shield.

I posted this in the Facebook sign errors group last month but for those of you who aren't a part of that, this is a photo I took about July 8 of an error Ohio 400 sign. I went to see if it was still there after another poster put up a photo of this sign earlier.

(https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/36818225_10160546370550331_1534412950947758080_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=91036053917fc2a16d8257a6641a6e74&oe=5C8E7D78)

(Edit: Was able to finally get the photo to link)

This is on U.S. 400 near Strauss, which is about nine miles east of Parsons in Labette County. And it's not the first time Ohio shields have appeared in Labette County. When the bypass around Parsons first opened, the contractor posted the entire thing with Ohio 400 shields. My guess is that either KDOT or the county kept the signs when they corrected the mistakes and then used one of them by mistake to replace a missing U.S. shield.

Found the originals! From 2003:

Do ones that never got posted count?

This is a US/state route mix-up error shield from New York that I recently purchased. None of the holes have been punched through the sheeting, although it clearly saw a little bit of abuse while in storage. The upper left edge was also a bit screwed up in fabrication, since the black doesn't completely fill in that corner.

I don't have a picture, but a month or so ago, I saw that the shields for US 11 in Cicero at this intersection (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1497411,-76.1243034,3a,15y,278.54h,91.38t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfeYMYbJAu4x60nr6jbeh5A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) were replaced with NY 11 shields.

Two things wrong with this sign in Colbert, OK. One, it should be US 69. Two, they used the old circle state highway sign instead of the meat cleaver that went into effect more than a decade ago.

That's not the 322/743 intersection, but both are in the Hershey area. The PA 322 shield (https://goo.gl/maps/GsnStFfre6r) (there's only one of them) is the westbound reassurance marker after the Homestead Lane roundabout. The US 743 shield (https://goo.gl/maps/uVqho9hXuaB2) is on southbound Cocoa Avenue after the route turns off Hersheypark Drive. The northbound 743 marker on Hersheypark Drive is correct.

A couple in CT:

CT 68 in Wallingford.  CT 5 should be US 5:

An interesting note:  signs just west of this intersection were recently replaced.  The CT 5 shield eastbound was replaced with a new... CT 5 shield!

But it's okay, 'cause a few miles up the road in Meriden, CT 15 gets promoted to a US route:

This is one of two errors as another US 87 shield is along Seawall Blvd. and Ferry Road.

AFAIK US 87 wasn't extended Northeast from Port Lavaca on the last AASHTO meeting. It should be TX 87.

Even more odd/bizarre is that if one looks at the prior GSVs; the lower sign listing the distance to the next exit fluctuates between 10 and 13 miles.

This isn't really the right thread for these photos, but there isn't a better one I know of and it doesn't merit a new thread. As some of you know, my dad is in his last few days, but his car needed the state inspection before Sunday and he was agitated about making sure it got done, so I took it for him this afternoon since he can't drive. It's a really nice Volvo with an incredible high-rez screen in the dashboard.....that happens to have an interesting choice of route shield for Virginia primary and secondary state highways:

Second, I've seen enough GPS errors posted that a "GPS errors" thread would probably be justified.

Unless AASHTO approved some implied ferry route from the southeast corner of Lake Michigan to the northwest corner, these signs should say M-35.

Interesting case here. The US-141 shield on the '08 GSV is correct, but I drove past this sign yesterday and it had been replaced with a WI-141 shield, which is wrong. So clearly erroneous shields are not just a thing of the past.

JCT US-59 sign on AR-244 just inside the Arkansas state line leading to junction with AR-59.  Both highways are within 10 miles of each other here in both states, but I guess Arkansas felt slighted and promoted theirs.  It's been this way for a over a decade now, but I'll never report it as it's a mission to see how long it takes the state to actually figure it out.  They could swap signs with the previously mentioned US-59 to AR-59 demotion in Lockesburg and fix both problems without producing new signs, but since Arkansas isn't really very centrally managed in its road department with the districts holding as much sway as they do here, there isn't much likelihood of that happening.

This is from years ago, but I'm seeing if anyone else saw it there. Somewhere in the Derby area - around the CT 8/34 interchange - there was a error "US 8" shield. I saw it only once ever - and as soon I told my dad to turn around so we could take a photo of it, we couldn't find it again? I know I saw it, and I know it was there. Did anyone else ever see it? Where was it?

NY-114 on Shelter Island has a bunch of US-114 signs, Long Islands closest US Route is US-1 in NYC/ CT. Region 10 should have zero US route shields in their inventory.
This was as of April when I was there working, google street view shows ny route shields so no image to reference.

NYS Office Building in hauppauge Long Island has a guide sign that has a US-454 shield (wrong shield/ font) in place of a NY-454 shield. This sign is handled by NYSOGS not DOT though.

I've just seen on a Big Rig Travels stream where I-205 merges into I-5 near Tracy, California a couple of US 120 shields (instead of the correct CA 120 ones) painted on the surface. They seem to be pretty new, because I cannot find them in Street View, and imagery in that area is pretty recent (from right before the world broke apart because of the coronavirus!).

Edit: Nevermind, found them (https://www.google.es/maps/@37.7740314,-121.3219642,3a,41y,49.69h,88.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9CEsx6kJQDYHLeo77eP30Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192). But they are indeed new, because they only appear in the most recent imagery.

It seems like such a wacky error that I wondered if it was an "Easter Egg" for people like us to catch that they are planning all along to not have in the final version.  Although it could just be a mistake.  I want to save my comments for Clearview, HAWK, things like that...but if no one mentions it at all, it would be a hoot if the goof made it through.

It's not often you see a US/State mix-up in Nevada, and this one appears fairly recent. Thanks for sharing!

That font gets used more often than you'd think. The previous shield assembly at this location looks like it also used the same font on its south banner (photo from Wikimedia Commons user Famartin taken in April 2015):
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/2015-04-29_18_02_03_View_south_from_the_north_end_of_Nevada_State_Route_264_%28Dicalite_Cutoff%29_in_Esmeralda_County%2C_Nevada.jpg/640px-2015-04-29_18_02_03_View_south_from_the_north_end_of_Nevada_State_Route_264_%28Dicalite_Cutoff%29_in_Esmeralda_County%2C_Nevada.jpg)

Another example are these "west" banners (https://goo.gl/maps/SADKhhVopWZxsWTC9) on the freeway entrance assemblies at the I-80/Virginia interchange in Reno, which aren't all that old. I've also noticed several stop signs on typically rural state highways that also have that distinctive 'S'.

I can only tell the font by the shape of the 'S'. Most of the uses I've come across have been in NDOT District 2 (west/northwest Nevada). However, the location of the 264 shields depicted here is in the western reaches of District 1 (southern Nevada).

Three signs around this junction use the SR shield, while one uses the proper shield. It seems to be related to lane closures on the US 197 bridge, which has also necessitated a bunch of detour signs with US shields.

I'm guessing this mileage sign near Elma on WA 8 that can be modified to create a "666".

Actually it might be more accurate now, since the distance from the sign in McCleary (https://goo.gl/maps/mfwhBErGsL9eDZX17) to US 101 in Aberdeen is 26.7 miles.

I'm sure you're right. It looks to be mostly done, but still considered a work zone. Still got a kick out of the oops while there's a correct shield at the intersection.

In Middletown, NY, there is this overhead BGS (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4617894,-74.3708698,3a,20.4y,314.66h,99.99t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sIUdO-zhuYM3sC8-ZvzTSxQ!2e0!5s20151101T000000!7i13312!8i6656) on N Galleria Dr approaching NY-211. Here, NY-17 is upgraded to an eastern version of I-17 (they jumped the gun on the interstate designation and got the number wrong), and two new suffixed US Routes are added: US-211E and US-211W.

This assembly (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3947094,-73.6065342,3a,51.7y,60.91h,94.7t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sNcbTd3zXg8oy6-d_pU_0zg!2e0!5s20181101T000000!7i13312!8i6656) in Brewster, NY, features US-202 being downgraded to NY-202, one of the countless examples of this happening, so much so that these US-202 mistakes could be in their own thread.

At the intersection of US-44, US-209, and NY-55 (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7713075,-74.3129792,579m/data=!3m1!1e3) in Kerhonkson, there are 4 erroneous NY-44 shields and an erroneous NY-209 shield. Then there is also this assembly (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7282937,-74.1919139,3a,37.6y,271.66h,94.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssedEsEUaHoT7fAE0Oh6h2Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) at the western terminus of NY-299, featuring a US-44 and a NY-44 shield side by side.

I am sure there are countless other examples nearby, but living in Region 8 has partially desensitized me to these sorts of errors.

This is the closest thread I can find for this.  It isn't in the USA, and it isn't quite a federal/state mixup shield error.  But it's still pretty close in spirit.

Last Thursday, I saw this sign on Av. Morones Prieto (https://goo.gl/maps/a4yy3t7GtWzqVDQr6) in Monterrey (Nuevo León, Mexico) while heading out of town.

Some context for the error:
Av. Morones Prieto is Eje Metropolitano (Metropolitan Trunk Road, which is a Monterrey-only system) 20, so the blue shields on the signs are correct.  However, it turns into Carretera Federal (Federal Highway) 40D, so the white shield is an error.  As far as I know, there is no such thing as Carretera Federal 20 anywhere in Mexico.  Other sign gantries along the route get it right (https://goo.gl/maps/3JTHuiuGGT1gkueH8);  this was the only one I saw that had the wrong number.

^^ And the middle-lane overhead arrow doesn't match the pavement arrow.

They tried.  From further back especially, you can see that the middle lane has the painted arrow at an angle to correspond to the "bear left" of the overhead (which is like a usual left turn lane assignment sign), while the left lane has the regular turn arrow painted and the overhead has a much more bent arrow (the kind used with directional assemblies) vs. the one usually seen on a turn lane assignment with more curvature.
It would still be clearer if they painted an arrow with some kind of slight bend to it, despite it being a custom job vs. something with a template.

I will update this post if I find anymore, or if anyone else posts some.

At that point, might as well turn it into a multi-state route 202, just like MSR 200.  :bigass:
The northern segment in DE, along with existing DE-202 can become DE-202. The rest in DE can go, since it is concurrent.
The whole thing in PA can become PA-202.
The NJ segment south of Somerville can be NJ-202. The rest is county maintained, so it could potentially get a 500-series number.
The NY segment from Suffern to Haverstraw can be NY-202. The rest is concurrent, or can be replaced by short extensions of NY-139, NY-116, and NY-100.
The CT segment from New Milford to Canton can be CT-202, and the rest can go since it is concurrent.
The MA segment from Westfield to the NH Line can be MA-202, since the rest is concurrent with MA-10.
The NH segment south of Hillsboro can be NH-202, and the segment from Barrington to Rochester, along with NH-202A, can be renumbered.
Everything in ME can go, since it is all concurrent, save the last few miles near Bangor.

Veering away from the NY situations, I found this last Saturday when heading to camp in southern Colorado. This is westbound CO 142 approaching what should be US 285 in the town of Romeo.

Don't always assume that state DOTs are incompetent when it comes to making errors by posting US routes as state routes. Sometimes they need to replace a missing sign but they don't have the needed sign blank, so they compromise by posting a state route sign with the correct route marker.

This was the case along US 641 in western Kentucky recently.

Don't always assume that state DOTs are incompetent when it comes to making errors by posting US routes as state routes.

Unless it's a rare case of two different route types with the same number, or the wrong direction/number, it's really not a big deal and I delight in finding them. After all, it's better to have a sign in place than none at all.

But I think that Fredonia example has been there since at least May of 2020...

Maybe the contractors could've, I dunno, looked up a bit while they were painting the shields.
But here's the kicker: the shields used to be correct before being removed and repainted sometime between Nov 2019 and June 2022. I know a lot could've happened in that timeframe but they were fairly new, first appearing on GSV in Nov 2017.

I found this (https://goo.gl/maps/USPEAaTWwb36Jphb7) on GSV, NM-146 got a promotion for a construction detour sign last year to US-146. At least the sign was just a temporary detour one.

Texas Loop 375 in El Paso got upgraded to (https://goo.gl/maps/eNy8UKsDJT74ecKx8) US-375 according to some pavement shield markers north of the "Spaghetti Bowl" interchange.
I can't believe the contractors who installed the pavement markings made this major mistake. The US highway shield is a lot more complex to cut out compared to the rectangular Texas route marker shield.
At least they installed the correct one (https://goo.gl/maps/v1iwHAe77h93oeTy8) on another ramp in the interchange.

I'm not sure if this counts for the purposes of this thread, but this should be TO WA 155. Dayton Street is not WA 155: https://goo.gl/maps/FEE5aCeRUxsB8yrs9

Omak Avenue is WA 155: https://goo.gl/maps/86Q5iosZyks5S2vBA

Interestingly enough, Dayton Street only has the signage when going north on the street, away from US 97 / WA 20.

SR 155 turns south from Omak to Dayton, while its spur route continues west to SR 215. WSDOT's maps show the configuration:

(https://i.imgur.com/KL2AkhI.png)

Doesn't belong in the thread anyway, since this would be a sign error instead of a mixup (like putting a US shield for SR 155 or a SR shield for US 97).
Title: Re: US/State mixup shield error signs
Post by: Amaury on November 01, 2022, 10:35:26 PM
Okay, that makes sense. Google Maps doesn't mark this one very well: https://goo.gl/maps/MYvHQ6a5B1Futgtr8 (And WSDOT doesn't have the spur route signed.)

Google Maps doesn't have any marking at all for Dayton Street, with the northern terminus actually being at the junction of Dayton Street and US 97/WA 20, according to the WSDOT map. Instead, SR 155 Spur doesn't exist on Google Maps and Google Maps has the northern terminus of SR 155 at Main Street and Omak Avenue. Perhaps this is because of what is mentioned in the Wikipedia article for this state route, and Google Maps never updated it: "The spur route was designated on the former route of SR 155 prior to the construction of the US 97 expressway in eastern Omak. WSDOT plans to rebuild the spur route's crossing of the Okanogan River in 2025 with wider lanes by replacing the sidewalks with a parallel pedestrian bridge." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Route_155)

Although this SR 155 sign here does confuse me: https://goo.gl/maps/8BJWqn1WS9KyuZsV8 That one seems to actually be wrong, as turning right there takes you to SR 215 northbound. Either that or the sign got moved somehow and it's meant to be pointing to the right (Omak Avenue) for people heading northbound on SR 215 coming up to that intersection. I haven't actually been at that intersection in person for quite a while ago. That image capture is from 2018. I went through Omak last week coming back from Inchelium, but I cut through Dayton Street, bypassing the spur route and that intersection. Next time I'm in the area, I'll see if the sign has been fixed.

Post by: Bruce on November 01, 2022, 11:42:02 PM
Google doesn't mark termini. Technically, both sections are SR 155 and thus both can be marked with a shield.

That sign seems to be bolted in the right direction, so perhaps it's just a contractor error. Nothing to really overthink.
Title: Re: US/State mixup shield error signs
Post by: Amaury on November 01, 2022, 11:48:57 PM
Yeah, I know it doesn't mark the ends. What I meant was that Dayton Street should also be marked in yellow with little 155 shields since it's also SR 155, and Google Maps just shows it as being a regular street, with nothing special about it, compared to SR 215, for example, which is marked in yellow like any other numbered route, the "special" part being that it's a state route.

(On a somewhat off-topic note, I've noticed that there are some local state routes in states that aren't marked in yellow, for some reason, and are just gray lines on Google Maps, like they're an unnumbered road. WA 530 and OR 204 are two that come to mind.)

Okay, here's one. On the right sign when heading east on Oregon Route 224, the east and south directional signs are above the wrong shields. East should be above OR 224 and south should be above OR 211: https://goo.gl/maps/BW5XwH7C1cacENJ1A

I just noticed that when I took my drive to Bridgeport, Washington, back in January, that this reassurance shield for Washington State Route 173 is all sorts of wrong. However, I'm not sure what it's mixed up with. It's just as you enter Bridgeport off of Washington State Route 17. Additionally, looking at Google Maps' only image capture from 2008, which is why it's not the best quality, shows it was correct back then, with Washington's head silhouette: https://goo.gl/maps/JUepiMPMFdM1Nv3r5

I'm not sure why it's incorrect now, nor do I, again, know what it's even mixed up with, as it's not mixed up with a shield used for US routes.

That is the default MUTCD state route shield. The MUTCD says something like "Unless the state decides otherwise, the state route shield shall be a circle." It also includes an example of one. Of course, Washington did decide otherwise, but somehow that sign still got put up.

Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi, and Iowa are the states that use that shield. New Mexico uses it verbatim on their guide signs but their standalone signs have the zia emblem from the state flag added.

It's even more odd, as I mentioned, that it used to be Washington's unique state route shield (Washington's head), and then sometime after 2008, per my post, it got replaced with just the generic circle for some reason. All the other signs for that state route are correct, though, with Washington's head, whether it's the shields or the shields on a green sign, like around the curves through Bridgeport.

There are places where I've seen the circle being used on state highways in states where it doesn't belong. I've held off on posting photos of such situations, as I wasn't sure if it was totally appropriate for this thread.  We could perhaps start another thread splintering off to cover those situations, but they aren't super common.  Here are a couple of times I have caught this mistake: the first is in Manteno, Illinois, and the second is along US 29 just north of Pensacola, in westernmost Florida.

Michigan has endeavored to avoid duplicating its US-route numbers as state-route designations.  The major exceptions are US-10/M-10 (with US-10's Ludington-Bay City route not close to M-10 in metro Detroit) and US-24/M-24 (their ends come close in northern Oakland County but don't actually touch); and US-45/M-45 (US-45 in the U.P. is nowhere close to M-45 in the Grand Rapids region).

MDOT assigned M-25 to the northernmost segment of the former US-25 only when it was decommissioned in Michigan, and assigned M-27 to the segment of old US-27 between Indian River and Cheboygan when US-27 was decommissioned north of Grayling. And, nobody ever confused the now-decommissioned US-33 (now M-63) in Berrien County for the current M-33 in the northeastern Lower Peninsula.

Louisiana doesn't screw this up very often. And usually it's in the downgrade direction. But then again, DOTD is rather lazy.

Pennsylvania is probably the biggest offender in this regard, because internally all routes are SR xxxx even if they're US routes or Interstates.

This PA-1  shield has been replaced with another PA-1  shield (for US-1): https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0137428,-75.1775044,3a,48.3y,354.56h,66.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5xG4-hTNJvz4ifqNixl8NQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

You'll find a lot of PA-202  shields for US-202, especially in Norristown: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1438072,-75.3158027,3a,17.6y,144.62h,85.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJfeI3pWY-ehmAGAjM7DRSw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

I swear I saw a PA-13 shield for US-13, but I can't remember where.

PA-34, oddly, got an upgrade in Gettysburg: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8299828,-77.2311482,3a,34.6y,23.85h,87.68t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sD1woFI7Q5ug4Nq4TyjtnUA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

A couple of U.S. 17C trailblazers along River Road and Argonne Avenue in Endwell, NY, near the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86/NY 17). Alex spotted the one in the first link below as we were traveling west from Binghamton on our recent trip to the Northeast.

Surprisingly, the contractor erecting signs for construction on the Van Wyck made mostly accurate replicas of the former BGSs that were up on this overpass.

However, he missed the mark on this one sign (which I only noticed today because I was stuck in traffic), and a) created the highest numbered US Highway, and b) somehow managed to put the 878 numbers in the one NYC shield (aka no pentagons) that wouldn't apply to the highway.

The original sign was correct: https://goo.gl/maps/5K4ZxeVEEzq72U1eA

At some point, it was replaced, and it was incorrect, along with the east directionality text removed for some reason: https://goo.gl/maps/UCg7pUNYcGVktg4f8

The shield was fixed at some point after that: https://goo.gl/maps/gxzkEiE8VRThcgzh7 And the east directionality being removed makes sense as there are entrances for both directions there.

However, now the sign isn't there at all. I don't know if it fell or if it was removed intentionally.

I will note that this sign farther up didn't used to be there and was installed a few years ago: https://goo.gl/maps/HbuKmsL3vYJHjRo38 Here's the area before it was installed: https://goo.gl/maps/9Rxxa7ZBM1hHpkyk9 I can only make a guess here, but I wonder if they decided that the smaller sign on the light pole was redundant.

Interstate 10 gets a mini downgrade. (https://goo.gl/maps/bkj6Nakz6yKx99Az5)  I don't call it a full downgrade because there is a shield next to it showing it's true identify.

This brings up a philosophical question:  In California, since every highway is defined legally by the state as "Route XX" regardless of designation (thus meaning every highway in the state is technically a state highway), is it really an error when a US or Interstate highway gets the state highway treatment?

California has one each for US50, CA 99, and US 101 in the Shield Gallery. I thought someone posted an I-152 shield somewhere, but maybe I just imagined it.

In Middletown, NY, there is this overhead BGS (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4617894,-74.3708698,3a,20.4y,314.66h,99.99t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sIUdO-zhuYM3sC8-ZvzTSxQ!2e0!5s20151101T000000!7i13312!8i6656) on N Galleria Dr approaching NY-211. Here, NY-17 is upgraded to an eastern version of I-17 (they jumped the gun on the interstate designation and got the number wrong), and two new suffixed US Routes are added: US-211E and US-211W.
That is the only one that I can remember seeing in person off the top of my head, though I'm sure it's not the only one in the area.

US/State mix-ups are pretty rare in Nevada to begin with. I came across one that was extra unusual a few months ago, but wasn't in a position to get a picture and had to wait for Street View to catch up.

Street name sign along SR 445/Pyramid Hwy at Dolores Dr in Sparks (https://maps.app.goo.gl/6f5wzTxY4jriB24q8)

The unusual factor here, beyond accidentally using the US highway shield instead of a NV shield, is that putting highway shields on street name signs (standard or backlit signs at signals) is not common practice by any agency in Nevada. Usually you just see the road name or "SR ###"/"US ###" written in text (or occasionally both (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mcxKBruSRDDtXD8TA)).

Oregon Route 30 apparently exists: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aJxsJaU2RBDdDvZ19

This is at the junction of Taylorville Road and US Route 30 southeast of Wauna, since there are two junctions with Taylorville Road.

Just drove through here today and these errors are still around, and there's more in this area too. Incredibly, there appears to be more US 235 shields than VT 235 shields!

Unfortunately I was driving and couldn't take photos, but here are GSV links:

That VA 564 shield has been there 25 years or thereabouts.  Not too far to the right is/was a set of VA 170 shields.  VA 170 was replaced by I-564/VA 337 in 1979.

I much prefer the rule state routes and US Routes (and Interstates, for that matter) with the same number should not exist in any given state.  This is the rule in Ohio, and several other states.  It eliminates the need for the sign in Maryland where the exit for Maryland 68 has a sign that says "this is NOT I-68"

I much prefer the rule state routes and US Routes (and Interstates, for that matter) with the same number should not exist in any given state.  This is the rule in Ohio, and several other states.  It eliminates the need for the sign in Maryland where the exit for Maryland 68 has a sign that says "this is NOT I-68"
Illinois has no problem with it. The closest* a duplicated route number gets is IL 6 on the northern edge of Peoria and US 6 just south of I-80, about 40 miles or so separated

The * is whether or not I-41 truly exists in Illinois, but even if it does, that is Wisconsin's fault

I-24 is Exit 44 on I-57; US 24 is Exit 283 on I-57, for example

US 50 is Exit 116 on I-57; IL 50 is Exit 315 on I-57

US 150 and IL 150 are separated by about 180 miles as well

I-94 and IL 94 are about 150 miles apart

I-64 and IL 64 are about 250 miles apart

Really not a major problem

In Virginia there's a place where a US route and a State route actually meet. US 360 and VA 360 (which is actually the old routing of US 360). Why the state didn't just call it US 360 ALT is beyond me, but here's how VDOT solves the potential confusion:

The Atlanta Motor Speedway really does not want Martin Truex, Jr.,  to win there.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10220086483392864&set=a.10220087381215309)

A sign in Dunkerton, IA points the way to the nonexistent IA 63.

That gives me shivers.  Looks an awful lot like some ancient West Virginia secondary route (ergo, County Route) directional signage.  Except for the font, of course.  I haven't seen anything like that in the wild in many decades.

Here's a new one:  US-12 has been demoted to MA-12 or ME-12 just past the new US-127/US-223 roundabout north of Addison, MI.  Signing hasn't been completed and this might be a temporary assembly.

This (https://maps.app.goo.gl/tk4afQoQ6Z4u5TWK8) is how it looks with the correct shield. There's probably a sign like that pointing to an actual state highway somewhere around there, but I didn't see one.

Not only does CA 92 goes through San Mateo, CA, but US 92 does as well!
